Introducing Arizona's First Freedom Rock #22

The Prescott Valley Freedom Rock is the first of its kind in Arizona! Located outside Prescott Valley Town Hall (7501 E Skoog Blvd, Prescott Valley, AZ), it is a distinctive new Town landmark.   Painted by artist Ray "Bubba" Sorensen II [https://www.thefreedomrock.com/], the PV Freedom Rock represents Navajo Code Talkers, CPL Ira Hayes, Lori Ann Piestewa, Pat Tillman, the USS Arizonas, and Old Glory. In addition to the Freedom Rock, when the full site is finished it will include bricks honoring veterans and the community that supports them, benches from which to reflect, and a pergola for protection.
